Hiebert presents a Biblically sound evangelical theology informed by anthropology. His analysis helps the reader understand why Western thought has evolved as it has. This anthropological framework then helps pastors teach laypersons a Biblically based, informed approach to living their faith and sharing their faith. At the same, he explains safeguards that necessary to prevent today's Christian expression from being appropriated by our current cultural mindset.

Because those of us on the journey recognize we are missionaries serving local communities of believers, we need good instruction. This is one of the best available authors with deep missiological reflections to help us on our journey.

Hiebert was a great scholar and I'm always interested to hear his views related to missiology. This book has valuable information, but a critique I would make is that it seems overly eclectic at times.
